41:00 Yggdra Union. John Houston was a smooth operator. That was a sick trade. You got a couple good shop stock 64 carts in the deal too. I think it was DK64 and banjo kazooie or something similar.
Trade Night went perfectly. Lots of potential for it to grow by word of mouth next year. Free pizza and drinks after a long day of setting up on the vendor floor? Can't beat that.
Now that you mention it, CIB NES was surprisingly hot. Lots of hardcore collectors going for full set CIB for nintendo cardboard games. John Houston was out there checking off SNES CIBs. We didnt have any 64 CIBs but I have a feeling anything checklist for full set 64 would have done well. Interesting observation I had with a small sample of what I'd consider lowkey high demand obscure "hidden gem" type games on 360, ps1, ps2, and wii... And they all did similarly well (sold or traded away about a third of what I brought out). Much more diverse than what I experienced at Houstonpalooza 2022.

Agreed 100% on the “hidden gems”. The interesting part it wasn’t just people looking for oddities but they actually knew a lot of them by name.
Yea our panel was fun.
Next trip you need to set up camera and mics for a car ride podcast with the gals
It’s even worse because I had the GoPro and wireless mics with us.
